This grand red sandstone building was constructed in 1901 in
the Spanish Baroque style to house the city's art collection.
There is an urban myth that the gallery was built back-to-front
and the architect jumped from one of the towers when he found out. Not true, of course.
I visited the museum when I was a child and remember the model ships in glass cases. These were made by the shipyards of the vessels built on the Clyde. They are now in the new Transport Museum.
